Sirona Dental Systems has donated 340 dental handpieces to the National Children's Oral Health Foundation (NCOHF): America's Toothfairy for distribution to its nonprofit dental facilities, the company announced.
Twenty of NCOHF's affiliates received handpieces to use in the care of economically challenged children in their communities. The affiliates are part of a growing national network of nonprofit dental facilities that receive product donations, funding, and sharing of best practices through NCOHF.
Sirona's donation, valued at almost $200,000, will help defray costs for these affiliates.
"NCOHF is a wonderful organization and this donation represents an excellent opportunity for Sirona to give back to local communities, helping to extend dental care to those who otherwise would not have access," said Michael Augins, president of Sirona Dental Systems, in a press release.
